Snipers are OP in Crucible. Here's a "short" reason why:
Video:To all those saying "Shut up shotgun nub. You can't make dis post unless you use the OP weapon U make argument against. U can't snipez , cuz you barely even use dem."
Snipers have may be the most skilled, but do they really have a high learning curve in Destiny, if not, a learning curve at all? Let's see why I believe they need nerfing:
-The ridiculous impact snipers can one shot revived enemies, completely ruining the point of over shields on revives
-Very High Target Acquisition makes head shots extremely easy to get
-Little to No Recoil allows for follow up shots to be extremely easy with little to no effort
-No Sway, allowing players to be completely agile and spam fire while maintaining targets
-No velocity limitations (Why would bungie add Hakkë weapons with velocity buffs, yet there are no limitations/mechanics to make this relevant? This applies to all weapons)
-High rates of fire (Similar to scout rifles)
-Head shot hit boxes are big, allowing for ridiculous one shot kills that shouldn't happen (Neck, shoulder, ect)
-Semi high ROF snipers with all listed above.... Really, Bungie?
-Conspiracy Theory-D
-Can outgun regular CQC weapons because of all listed above
-I recommend Nerfing the salty community as well. Nerf cries are running rampant on things that don't even need it. (In short, don't always listen to the bitching unless you actually looked into it.)
Other than that, they're completely fine and only skilled players can use them, right? (Obvious sarcasm) No, but seriously, something needs to be done about this. Anyone else agree? [b][i][u]I'd love the community's feedback.[spoiler]Open opinions and actual feedback in Destiny? Lel. Not from this shitty community.[/spoiler][/u][/i][/b](Ocean wave of salt water incoming).

Well if I got shot in the head with a gun I would expect to die.
-
I think target acquisition and stability given by perks need to be lowered but overall I really don't think theres a big issue with snipers despite the non-realistic no sway or bullet travel stuff. This isn't quite a realistic FPS shooter like battlefield it's more of a fantasy sci-fi type and just being able to snipe without normal hinderances makes sense considering this game's genre.

Shut up Meg!

2 RepliesAre you retarded?

Ur not good at pvp. Accept that. Move on or deal with it. Shot guns are worse.
-
2 RepliesThe way maos are designed, I don't think its even possible doe snipers to be OP in destiny. That being said, the size of the precision hit box is massive, and the target aquisition is crazy. But still kinda irrelevant because all the maps are close quarters.
-
Bullets are op nerf bungie
-
First of all, there are no bolt action snipers in destiny unless u count NLB Also, ur points are valid for the most part yes snipers are very easy to use, but the screen does shake A LOT when someone starts shooting at you with sthing other than a sniper Sniping isnt hard but it isnt so easy that anyone can run around doing it well Using a sniper certainly doesnt equal easy mode like using lw and thorn (even now) Theyre pretty balanced right now
-
2 RepliesIt's high risk/ high reward. I think they're just fine. I rarely get picked off by them but with the new update I've seen NLB get its just due. That guns a blast. And before you come in with your condescending retort (read some of your replies) this is my opinion.
-
My sniping Highlights :P
-
Do you even snipe?
-
Reason: It's a sniper rifle bro.
-
I rarely see snipers in crucible...
-
The responses to counter arguments are so cringey. I enjoy reading them.
-
Yeah, they are simple to use but your trying to make this game battlefield or pretty much any tactical shooter. The crucible is more like COD and Halo.
-
10 RepliesYou mean it takes no skill to quick scope a tiny head while taking fire from a gun while your screen shakes? Ok OP Sorry you get out gunned and are salty, but snipers are dead 2.0 with no ambush scope and high impact - stability ratios. If someone kills you with a sniper in ttk they earned it.
-
8 RepliesSnipers aren't overpowered, avoid the area and use cover. It's not hard to avoid them and you can easily take them out with a Scout Rifle.
-
9 RepliesNo shit they're op. They're snipers. That's like complaining about rockets going boom...
-
8 RepliesI think they're fine, sidearms just need a buff to get people using them more and sniper usage should go down a tad as a result. At least fusion rifles are solid now and shotguns still dominate.
-
4 RepliesMost of those apply to almost every weapon in Destiny. It's never been competitive and no matter how much they nerf everything, it never will be.
-
2 RepliesGod forbid you should actually have to use your brain when playing a video game huh? Muted.
-
They require some skill but honesty sidearms and fusion rifles for most people are hard to use
-
10 RepliesIt is a high skill high reward weapon nobody but you is complaining because they understand that
-
8 RepliesI've never seen a more ridiculous post on these forums

So complainers got shotguns and fusion rifles nerfed. Handcannons are all but useless so now you're moved on to sniper rifles? The new meta of auto and pulse rifles introduced a lot of reticle movement for snipers. No sniper can beat CQC weapons like shotguns or the Last Word unless the sniper is scoped in on a spot and you run it I it. And most of Bungie's maps are CQC or medium sized so sniping it way more dangerous. Also, there's a very visible red dot when someone scopes you with a sniper rifle.
